This book explores Jeffrey Rothman's thoughts about God, meditation, and the spiritual path. It is partially autobiographical, partially a philosophical explanation of his worldview, and partially a manual about how and why to engage in practices like meditation and prayer. Jeffrey has been strongly influenced by Zen Buddhism, but also simultaneously expresses a more relational experience of God that was influenced by both Christianity and Hinduism. To him, God is the experience of our own True Nature, an experience that anyone can have through the power of meditation. Our True Nature is already God/Buddha Itself, and to realize this is the greatest Bliss and the goal of human life. However, we can also simultaneously enjoy a relationship with what he calls the Personal God. Both these aspects of the spiritual path are explored in different parts of the book, and Jeffrey's own life narrative sets the stage for why he feels that both viewpoints are important.
